2Peter:1:12-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things ,
though ye know them ,
and be established in the present truth .
*
Yea ,
I think it meet ,
as long as I am in this tabernacle ,
to stir you up by putting you in remembrance ;
*
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle ,
even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me .
*
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance .
*
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables ,
when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
but were eyewitnesses of his majesty .
*
For he received from God the Father honour and glory ,
when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory ,
This is my beloved Son ,
in whom I am well pleased .
*
And this voice which came from heaven we heard ,
when we were with him in the holy mount .
*
We have also a more sure word of prophecy ;
whereunto ye do well that ye take heed ,
as unto a light that shineth in a dark place ,
until the day dawn ,
and the day star arise in your hearts :
*
Knowing this first ,
that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation .
*
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man :
but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost .
